About Me: My name is Sarra Cannon, and I've been indie publishing since 2010. In that time, I have published 25 books and sold well over half a million copies.
I've made some mistakes along the way, but I've also learned some valuable lessons that I think will help you reach your goals. I can't wait to help you learn to make money writing what you love.

I kind of wish I'd splurged in the Erin Condren seasonal surprise box. So many cool things! We are in a shelter in place, but there are only a couple cases in our county. I still teach so I am generally fielding questions and helping students a lot of my day, but I'm finishing up my draft so I can send it out to beta readers soon.
I was really stressing over tax returns and corona and opening the Erin Condren Seasonal Surprise Box made me so happy. For 15 minutes I cared about nothing else.
I’m so excited for the vision journal!
Journaling and writing has been a source of comfort.
England has been on lockdown since Tuesday. I have had a bit of a block, so currently setting up my bullet journal for 2021. Yes, it's probably crazy - but I have extra time on my hands. No commute means 2 extra hours each day.
I am thinking about my goals for Q2, and what they are having changed over the past 2-3 weeks.
I am planning on participating in Camp, and curious how it's going to work out this time since the website revamped.
I am currently using one dot grid notebook for my bullet journal, and one for writing my novel's first draft. I will get through my notebooks eventually. Stay safe. ❤
To sanitize mail: Im not ordering anything right now unless its have to have home items for my family (those stay in the garage on a shelf for many days).. hoping to keep myself, family, and mail carriers safer.. doing what I can to not contribute to the huge amount of packages they're having to deal with.
Really looking forward to the live reading. My husband and I have been very sick, we both tested negative for corona virus, thank God. We've just been watching Netflix and UA-cam. Stay safe.
Hope you feel better soon!
We're in Nashville and things are changing rapidly. Thank you so much for still posting!!!! I appreciate all that you do to make our lives more organized and enjoyable :)
Im an essential worker so im doing my best to stay sterilized and productive 😃 thank you for all you do!
i love journaling while i watch these videos. it’s probably just me but there just something really therapeutic and nice about it all
Hello from southeast Alabama! Staying in is the key for us and only going to town when it is a HAVE to. Hope everyone stays safe from this virus and I’m sending prayers for everyone everywhere as we can never have too much prayer.
I absolutely cannot wait for these lives! It's always so fun to interact live--makes it feel less lonely in this isolating times!💕
I am a fourth grade teacher in NJ and a mom of two. I am so grateful to still be able to connect with my students and to be home safe with my family but it has been rough transitioning to distance learning. Thank you for your videos!
Hope you and your family are hanging in there! Stay safe!
CA is in lockdown, so the cat and I are hunkered down! I've been spring cleaning, and found some notebooks!!! so YAY, I'll be using those! ;]
Los Angeles is on lockdown. Staying in and safe. I work from home all the time, but working full time and homeschool is no joke! It’s Spring break stay-cation week! Which means I can join your live read! We hope to have video led classes after this week, which will help. I Lysol wipe or spray Lysol on packages and open those in the garage, box stays there. Then spray and wipe what was inside. Stay safe, thanks for the April challenge! Love the cleaning insta stories, you inspired me to clean the pantry, thanks!
@sarracannon, where did you get the black tassel on your notebook in the video, love it!
Thanks for this video. Love this. Hope u will continue posting these amazing videos.
Thank you for all you are doing to keep up good spirits! I am in the North Carolina mountains and we are staying home. I am able to work remotely so I’ve been busy but also finding time to relax. I have to work to keep anxiety at bay sometimes. I find comfort in all of the extra family time.
It's good to see you are doing so well during the quarantine. I am an extreme introvert so not much has changed for me. Lol. As far as what you can do for us during this time you are already doing it. Taking care of yourself and your family and putting out videos when you can!
Just found this channel this morning. I can't wait to hear your story . I am from Virginia here. Everything is shut down with only groceries stores, restaurants with carry out only , gas stations, Walmart/Target still open.
Welcome!!
Michigan is on lock down, only allowed to go to grocery store which I don't do often, I wear a mask, carry hand sanitizer and keep my distance from others. We are in troubled times right now, and I want to keep everyone safe. I love the notebooks you are using. Thank you for the great ideas. Everyone keep safe and take care of each other.
Thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to post these video and for being so generous with your giveaways ! You have a beautiful soul and you inspire all of us to be the best version of ourselves that you can ! : )
Thank you for this video and adding some normalcy to our lives right now.
I really appreciate your videos. Encouraged me to start writing again and I look forward to watching one every night. I may be watching 2 tonight. Working from home so I couldn’t watch the live version but I’m going to hop over and check out the readings you’re doing 😊
I love these videos. Your home projects journal is so cool☺
Thank you for your posts and videos. I’m surviving by watching videos, trying to outline my first novel and fighting a migraine. Can’t wait to hear Witch’s Key
I have been super busy with work and business. I am a college instructor, so transitioning all of my classes online and helping my students adjust has been a task. Business has been good but busy. And, home projects abound. I am doing a closet purge as I watch this video.
I'm in Alaska and a stay at home was just issued starting Saturday evening. All non-essential businesses are shut and unless you are going to and from said job, on your way to a dr or to get food, you have to stay home for next 2 weeks-at least. I DO have an essential job at the Borough(county) office so I am going to work, but we're closed to public. Phone calls, emails, faxes, are the way of things at the moment. It really is a crazy world right now. Writing is harder than normal, but I'm making myself try. Even if it is terrible writing, I'm trying. Thanks for being so completely open, honest, and caring with us. It makes a lonely space feel loved.
I just downloaded one of your books. I can't wait to start reading it.
Thankfully I can work from home. I've been trying to organize all my craft things for the time being.
I’ve been home for the past 12 days. I’ve been enjoying the time I have reading, catching up on my tv shows, and of course my planner time. I try not to watch to many news, cause it just stress me out. Luckily I have a 🐕 that’s adorable, he’s loving this social distancing. 😆
I have good days and not so good days. I am focusing on some of my other crafts. I have been writing things in my granddaughters book ( she is 3) so I can show her what was going on around her 3rd birthday and why we couldn't celebrate her birthday this year. Jotting down ideas and plots for my book slowly, and not putting to much pressure on myself right now to write. ( thank you Sarra) Stay safe and Healthy !! Looking forward to this afternoon listening to your story.
I can't watch your readings live but will definitely watch them late. Great idea. I am still going out to work. I appreciate your sharing your ideas it inspires and encourages me. Stay safe.
I’m just now able to do the self isolation, I was working up until Friday. I’m happy to finally be able to think more about my family’s safety. I’m going to use my time for the OWLs readathon and for camp nano.
Taking the time to actually *do* all of those art projects I set aside. I'm using skillshare to learn new things including using watercolors so super happy about that. Thank you for the chance and sharing.
I so needed this today. It's gray and dreary out and there's no end in sight. Please enter me in the drawing! Thanks for being here for us all, Sarra!
Your video was what I needed after a stressful day at my job as a nurse, then writing a paper that I barely made the deadline for. Can't wait to listen in to the book. Stay safe and well.
I'm looking forward to your live reading!
Thank you!!
Sending love to you and your family :)
As a police dispatcher, I am an essential employee so I am still going out for work and staying at home the rest of the time. They have closed non essential businesses here, but no official shelter in place orders have been given yet. I have been playing animal crossing and catching up on some reading. I started your Beautiful Demons series this week and I am HOOKED ! I devoured 1-6 and just started Sacrifice me. AMAZING !!!!! Can't wait to get and read the rest of the series !
I'm in the UK and we have been on lockdown since last week. Its an unreal situation, but cherishing the time of being at home with my family. I signed up to a tarot card reading online course and bought myself a beautiful pink and gold Paperchase notebook to make notes in.
I love your notebook videos and look forward to them every month.
Stay safe and well.x
I have been wanting to learn how to read Tarot Cards ... maybe now would be a good time to give it a shot !
We have been on lockdown since last Wednesday. I am worried because my husband is considered “essential” and today we found out that there is a confirmed case in his workplace. I’m journaling and using that to help my anxiety. I’m so glad to hear that you are going to be reading to us! Can’t wait!
Those pens look so cute! I use felt tip pens I picked up on amazon, but yours looks so much more sturdy :)
Will be there ready to listen to you tomorrow xx
Thank you!!
It's so sweet of you to still do these giveaways even in such a bizarre time. We're stuck at home until May 4th now, but more time to write!
Hey Sarra, I'm struggling with using the extra time that I've been"given" with hour cuts at my job as an outpatient physical therapist. My husband and I are healthy and glad that we have each other in this time. I'm using all of my planners right now to make to do lists and try to schedule out my time at home. It's definitely a challenge. I'm glad you and your family are doing well! 🧡
Wow what a crazy time we are living in, sometimes its just hard to wrap my head around what is going on. I am in Costa Rica and although we are not on lockdown (yet... im sure its coming ) we are stronly adviced to stay at home. I have a small business and have very little work so thats something that is adding to the anxiety and uncertainty. But looking on the bright side lots of time to start a new writing project and read tons of books. Love the read along idea!! Best wishes to you and your family, stay safe.
Love your notebooks and the video. I'm in NV and all kids are at home and we are doing homeschooling now. Due to the virus I lost my job and they are not going to reopen after this passes. We don't go out unless we absolutely need to and then we wear gloves and a mask. As for packages we leave them 24 hours before opening them since boxes are cardboard and seem to not have issues like metal and etc with the virus. Look forward to your story.
I'm so sorry about your job. Sending my thoughts your way.
Utah's sparse but not a ghost town yet. Our grocery stores aren't as barren as I've seen. I've been trying to maintain my sanity with a four yr old and 11 month old. I can only pick two: writing, cleaning, playing with kids.
I finished a notebook!!! 😁. I love these videos. Thanks for taking the time to inspire! Locked down in Illinois, but still upbeat.
Here from Washington State. Just trying to hang in there and not stress about things I can't control. We're just doing what we can to stay safe.
Put a teddy bear in your window as a surprise for those kids walking around to spot when they are going on a bear hunt!
Can't wait to hear you read tomorrow. Got the alarm set on my phone! Sounds like you are doing all you can to keep you and your lovely family safe.
Glad you and the fam are doing well. I'm still using my Jibun Techo and a couple Happy Planners. Much more decorative than functional, these days, but I'm enjoying decorating. We are settled well in our new normal!
I'm in Indiana and I am working from home, the kids are home and anxiety is high. Indianapolis is considered a COVID hotspot right now. But we are healthy and safe, going absolutely stir crazy but still healthy.❤❤
Hey there, from Eastern Montana. We are under shelter in place orders but where I live that kind of is our way of life! I am working on my third book and maybe a fourth on the side. I have appreciated your videos and finally caught up with them! I am also a planner, I love The Travelers notebooks.
Look forward to hearing the new book. I am retired and enjoy being home. However the past couple weeks have been stressful as concerned for family and friends. Stay healthy in SC. I am in South Georgia
That nail polish!!! It made me gasp.
Hi Sarra!! Good luck tonight with your editing, I’m really looking forward to tuning in the next 2 weeks for your reading of The Witch’s Key. Thank you for your ongoing inspiration and encouragement. I have been inspired to join the Camp NaNoWriMo for April!!😊
Hey sarra how are you I'm good I hope you and your family are being safe and I love u and your videos so much I watch them every day you are my inspiration to write a fantasy fiction book. Love u 💜☺😷 stay safe
Yay, I love your notebook videos! I’m using a disc-bound, letter-sized notebook to plot, a large EC notebook to plan my writing, a hobo weeks size dot-grid notebook for lists, and a half-letter happy planner notebook for general notes/brain dumps/inbox. Might get another EC notebook... those Wonder Woman covers are pretty!
I'm using a new gratitude notebook to help me stay positive, plus a new bullet journal.
Always helping us! Thank you. I’m trying to remember to breathe it’s truly unhinging me.
I’m going just a little bit crazy. Luckily there is a read-a-thin happening in April and I can always write! Where I live in Illinois we are of course only going out for the essentials! I’m happy to hear that you all are doing well! Hang in there and thank you for sharing your videos! 😊
Hi Sara, it's been a little difficult this time of quarantine here in North Carolina, unfortunately my husband has to keep working, but thankfully we are good. My sister lives in Spain and the situation over there is very hard, but she is holding up, she is safe and sound. But with all of this craziness in the world, journaling and writing poems have help me a lot, it keeps my mind busy and I release a lot of stress and anxiety. I'm glad you are good, stay safe and I'll be joining you on the live stream in the other channel!
I just started reading Beautiful Demons, so I'm definitely going to join the live reading!
Glad y'all are doing well! We're doing ok over here in Idaho. The governor announced shelter in place for us last week but as a homeschool family our lives haven't changed all that much 🙏🏻
Another fun set up! The traveller's notebooks are really cute and I love your quarantine cleaning journal! I'm still going with my Oracle card journal and am starting a mood tracker notebook for April. Looking forward to your live reading! Take care, Sarra 💜 - Alana
Love your nail color and that you matched it to your book cover! Can't wait to hear you read later this afternoon. I am in the U.S. Arizona is pretty lax because almost everyone is considered essential. So I continue to go to work. Nothing has changed for me because I was already homeschooling and I make my own schedule. I have amped up my self care though. Lots of grounding, meditating and working with lunar energy! 🌙 🌟
Cute note books
I got myself a new planner from purpletrail, and a smaller social media one to test out. I'm really grateful I got into planning because it's been keeping me sane!! I'm getting ready to plan for Q2, and am excited to get started. I've also done a daily manifestation and it's really been motivating for me.
to sanitize, wiping it down with just clorox wipes or lysol spray works :)
Cute notebooks :) we are doing OK in Portland so far.
The Wonder Woman collection is gorgeous from head to toe... Also, maybe you can use the thin inserts in your B6 TN for creative projects aside from writing... Like, a stationery line, a certain product or printable, or just small creative projects you can fit into each insert...
Oregon here. No shelter in place order here. But lots of things closed. Our family is handling it okay depending on the day. I really enjoy your videos and I look forward to your live videos. I am glad you are doing well.
I love seeing all your different stationary items: especially love the cat-ear apple pencil cover!
I'm doing a project for work while working from home. And some training was required for it. So I pulled one of the many notebooks from my shelf to take training notes in.
This yr was the first year I really paid attention to anything EC and I was so excited for all the WW stuff they released, I managed to get a couple covers ❤️ I have some of the notebooks with the productivity sheets and haven’t used them yet, I love how the layout is but I’m not sure what I want them for now so they just sit and wait.
I sadly had to be temporarily laid off, and my city is starting a month long quarantine next Monday. It stinks, but I'm going to take the time to reread all the training and standard practices books from my job so I can stay sharp when I go back, and I'm going to be doing some hard Spring cleaning. Of course, my work journal won't be as full of plans as my personal bujo, but I've got stickers and quotes a plenty to fill that space.
It has been hard for me to adjust. I am a college student and I am having trouble with the transition to online learning. I am happy to say my family is healthy. I'm glad to hear your family is well too.
Hi Sarra! I'm in California and we are still on lock down. I can't wait until tomorrow for your live story time!
a hi and virtuel hug from germany!! feel like a lot of people are calming down here from the initial panic... or maybe we just get sort of used to this new isolation?? no meetings allowed, except with family members and apart from that with one person max... on streets we need to stay away from others... really stressful! but lots of time to organize life and take looooong though lone walks with the dog... hope you all stay well and get through this time alright!!
I love seeing how you use your notebooks!! My favorite WW series notebook is the white one! I went to purchase it after you did your first video with it and it's sold out. Sad day!!
The pilot precise v5 is my favorite pen too so my ears perked right up LOL. I have to get some kikki k pens now. I'm in Virginia and I already was home-based so that's the same, it's really nice to have my husband home, he typically works 2 hours away so it's really nice to have time with him during the week. I'm still shutting myself up in my studio to write every day as well.
Can't wait for the read along. It's my first time participating in nanowrimo!! I'm still working. 😩 No self-quarantine for social workers. Keep safe and sanitized!!
I'm also a (working) social worker! Keep safe!
Hey! Thank you for your video! I used to replace the inserts for my pens all the time in school since my favourite pen of all times is PILOT bps-gp-f-l 0.5 :D If the insert is too short you can simply cramp some small piece of paper in the pen before putting the insert. Works all the time :)
My baby boy is now two months old, so I’ve already been following social distancing lol. My husband gets to work from home which is awesome and I’m so happy that he’ll be home while our baby is still small. I just finished setting up my bullet journal for April. I’m hoping to start using it again now that and slightly more used to caring for a little one!
Hey Sarra, glad you and your family are well. I work for a school system, so we were sent home on the 13th with laptops to work from home. We diffenately have limited work since school is closed. My sister told me to get to writing, so that maybe on my list for this week. I will put the notebook on Instagram along with the one and how I used it for this month. I didnt realize that the wonder woman notebook was a productivity notebook. I thought that the one in the surprise box was the only one🤦🏽♀️.
Stay safe, I will be looking out for your live reading
I’m using a new Erin Condren notebook I purchased last month to get all my thoughts down for a new idea.
Keeping myself busy by doing activities with my sons and reading the Bible. Making new food recipes
I will try my hardest to be there to listen to you read but it is 0400 on 31 March for me here in Perth Western Australia. Hope to see you at least one morning this week but I will watch them all in the morning. Take care and look after yourself and your family.
Hi Sarra! I am in Louisiana and they are talking about extending the quarantine here. But I am reading some books that you recommended as well and getting ready to actually plot my book.
Like you, I am finding escape and solace in writing during this time. I've really buckled down with morning pages every day in March, and am also participating in Camp NaNoWriMo in April. There is always a silver lining and in this case it's that my notebooks are filling up quickly! :)
I will have to check your SC channel to hear your readings! We are doing the best we can, not going out unless we have to and just enjoying family time 💜Amazon gift card would be amazing
I'm hoping EC will offer that vision journal in the store. I've never really been interested in the seasonal box before, but this I would really like. I'm thinking of making my own.
I could not relax untill last week where my 3 sons were sent home to work - that is how you can support me, by being home and save ( I hope). Yor minor books could be used to note ideas (or specific wishes) to gifts for family and friends
My country Honduras is on lockdown since March 16, thankfully my family is OK. Our government only let us out if we are sick and need medical attention or the specific days that were assigned based on your ID for you to purchase what you need at home, at the beginning was very difficult to pick up a book to read 📖 but I try to only read news from a legitimate source and not let false information to take away my peace, I am an asthmatic person and I was worried, but I was able to retake my reading, I can not wait to hear about The Witches key, thank you!
We are not going out a lot. The hubby's place of work is considered essential. The college I attend has closed, everything is online now. We're just taking this one day at a time.
I am still journaling everyday. I added a new one, it's just random thoughts that a provoked by the news and or social media.
Have a blessed week! Stay safe!
..........
Have you thought about a hairless cat? I'm sure they are expensive, but your husband may not be allergic to them.
Just starting my 3rd week on lockdown here in Puerto Rico, while my husband still needs to go out to work :( and my ToDo list keeps growing. I am still working through my notebooks and will probably document a bit of this experience in my destress/anxiety, going crazy notebook ;) ordered a few movies through amazon before this started and are working through them as entertainment for the kids and my aunt bought the Disney+ subscription and gave me her info so all my kids do is watch TV and craft with me; sadly teachers started giving lots of work for them to do as we will be at this until April 12 (if the Governor doesn't change the date again). Will do my best to be at the live. Keep safe, hugs
We have a shelter in place for California. The kids are likely to be out of school until next year yikes I have been planning like crazy for school work to keep my kids from falling behind. I am going through my old notebooks now for sure.
I am trying hard to find all the positives in this social isolation. Writing, home work-outs, locking down the budget, reading to children on FB Live, and spring cleaning are all on the plan. Thanks for all the support and I can't wait to hear the new story.
Love seeing your haul. Here in NZ we are on complete lockdown, and we are only getting essential mail (food and bills delivered lol). So there’s no point time ordering anything! Actually only the supermarkets are open to offer delivery within the country, and international mail is slow to non-existent. So it’s really nice to see what you got. We also don’t have amazon so I use the US store when I (infrequently) purchase.
Also, I’m all up to date on my journals haha
Hello, Sarra. I'm in Gadsden, Alabama. My husband and I both work at the local community college, so we've been working from home for a week now (and starting our second week). I'm also an indie author (Savannah Rose is my pen name. Angela is my real name.), so I've been able to catch up on my writing. Your videos have been so fun to watch on Instagram (cleaning your home). And I've been watching a lot of your videos on writing and planning. Actually, I just ordered my very first Carpe Diem A5 planner (Blush box set). Thank you, from a fellow indie author, for sharing your experiences and life with us. We're doing well. Stay well.
Actually, that new travelers notebook would make a great gaming notebook. You could track what you are in your folio in the other travelers notebook among your actual playing time, days played, like a 'gaming session' blurb, what happened, memorable moments.. things like that. That's what I'd use it for, personally. I love tracking my gaming time and best memory, if something big happened in the game - something usually or considered difficult - I'll track that.
Hey Sarra I plan to use the vision journal as a Tarot vision journal wish me luck and good health and great blessings to you and yours
That's wonderful!
